I saw the New Mac Mini on display
(programming.dev)
I love the idea of it, and I love how tiny it is. Will probably get one when money isn’t so tight.
But I was curious if the power button was accessible without lifting it. And it genuinely isn’t. Why does Apple like shoving important IO and buttons underneath the device. Good thing it’s light?
Oh and a funny thing was the staff had to loosen its mount on the table so you could turn it on.
The power button thing doesn’t matter. It’s not a PC, you never turn it off.
I love mine. Exactly the solution I was looking for. I was going to get a Mac Studio but it was too expensive and this meets all of my needs for a work desktop.
Mac Studio resale prices around here are just tanking right now.
Maybe not but it's just crazy that a company can be so ignorant.
Why do they intentionally place the power button in the absolute worst place imaginable?
The best explanation I’ve heard is they have someone who intentionally makes a subtle yet inconsequential change for internet people to whine about.
So you don't touch it.
It's not a personal computer? That's what the PC acronym means. You make no sense. Please elaborate.
You're correct, but somehow PC became a term for a windows, or non-mac computers. Probably because of all the advertising apple did to set Macs apart from other computers.

I don't know why you allow Apple corporate marketing to ~~fucking dominate~~ poison your ~~pathetic~~ intelligent mind with the idea of what the definition of the acronym is supposed to be, because Wikipedia includes Apple/Macintosh systems in its definition.
